AIMS To determine if intravitreal bevacizumab combined with the dexamethasone intravitreal implant 0.7 mg improves visual acuity and macular thickness more than bevacizumab monotherapy in eyes with macular edema due to branch and central retinal vein occlusions. METHODS Thirty eyes were randomly assigned to receive either combination therapy or bevacizumab monotherapy. All patients received i...

Purpose. To determine changes in central subfield (CSF) macular thickness and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) following single session, multispot panretinal photocoagulation (PRP). Methods. Forty eyes of 33 patients with newly diagnosed proliferative diabetic retinopathy were treated with single session, 20-millisecond, multispot PRP. Changes in central macular thickness and BCVA at 4- and ...

CONFLICT OF INTEREST None of the authors have any conflict of interest to declare, financial or otherwise. No financial or other support was received for the study. BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to assess changes in macular thickness after trabeculectomy in respect to the use of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) as well as to analyse possible associations between the postoperative changes in macula...

Purpose: To analyze the clinical features and visual prognosis of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in patients under 50 years age.Methods: A retrospective analysis medical records 36 age diagnosed with RVO from January 2016 to October 2021.Results: The mean was 39.53 ± 9.98 50%, 44.4%, 5.6% had branch, central, hemi-central RVO, respectively. Before diagnosis, systemic disease been 38.9%. Further, ...

PURPOSE To investigate the papillofoveal distance and its association with retinal thickness on optical coherence tomography (OCT) images after vitrectomy for diabetic macular edema (DME). METHODS In this retrospective case series, 72 eyes of 57 consecutive patients who underwent vitrectomy for DME were included. Retinal images dissecting the fovea horizontally were obtained using OCT before ...

PURPOSE To estimate the short-term variability of macular thickness in eyes with refractory and regressed diabetic macular edema (DME). METHODS In this retrospective review of consecutive cases from a retina practice, optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements of macular thickness were extracted from the clinical charts of patients with refractory DME and regressed DME. Variation in macu...

purpose: to assess the agreement of ultrasonic pachymetry, the galilei dual scheimpflug analyzer and orbscan ii in measuring central corneal thickness (cct) in normal and keratoconic eyes. methods: in this prospective comparative study, cct was measured in 88 refractive surgery candidates and 76 (39 right) eyes of 45 keratoconic patients using ultrasonic pachymetry, galilei and orbscanii. readi...

purpose : to evaluate the correlation of central corneal thickness (cct) with refractive error and keratometry in a group of patients eligible for laser keratorefractive surgery, which may serve as a bias in studies on intraocular pressure (iop) measurement methods : in a cross sectional observational study, the right eyes of 340 patients who underwent laser keratorefractive surgery during the ...

Purpose To report the 12-month efficacy and safety outcomes of intravitreal ziv-aflibercept in macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Methods Interventional case series documenting 12-month outcomes of intravitreal ziv-aflibercept (1.25 mg in 0.05 mL) in 6 patients with treatment-naive macular edema secondary to CRVO. All patients had comprehensive ophthalmic examin...

INTRODUCTION Optical coherence tomography is a technology that allows obtaining high resolution images of tissues in vivo, enabling the measurement of ocular structures, including the retinal nerve fiber layer and macular thickness. As a noninvasive test it's particularly useful in children, but its applicability is limited by the existence of normative values for adults only. PURPOSE To esta...
